Or perhaps the stories were written by people who had themselves lived through a global wave of illiberalism, and were trying to pass down a warning. Perhaps all those stories shaped my worldview and made me see complex, gritty reality in epic, Manichean terms. ![]() Throughout my youth, I consumed a great many stories that all had the same basic premise - an ancient evil, long ago banished from our world, is now returning, and once again we are called upon to rise up and fight it. But when I reach for words to express the profound unease that I feel watching the advance of illiberalism across my planet, the language of fantasy novels, children’s movies, and video games is the only one that seems up to the task. There is a Darkness creeping over our world. ![]() Now it’s our responsibility to help fix what we broke. We opened the gates, and allowed the Darkness back into our world. We brought back the principle of “the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must”. the unique opportunity to build a world where countries don’t invade other countries when we invaded Iraq without cause or provocation, we threw away that opportunity. Our victories in World War 2 and Cold War 1 gave the U.S. I don’t apologize for the over-the-top language, since I think it’s difficult to overstate the danger we humans have a strong tendency to stick our heads in the sand until it’s too late, and we need to wake up.īut we also need to remember a crucial piece of this story: It was American folly that began this baleful trend. So today is the perfect day to repost a fairly melodramatic post that I wrote two years ago, about the rise of authoritarianism and illiberalism. With one of those powers actively engaged in a war of conquest against a peaceful neighbor, and the other threatening to do the same, the world is in danger of plunging back into the horrors of the early 20th century. Today is also the day of the summit between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, in which the leaders of the two authoritarian great powers reiterate their de facto alliance. invasion of Iraq - a multi-decade debacle that would see hundreds of thousands of innocents killed, trillions of dollars flushed down the drain, America’s image in the Middle East destroyed, and the acceleration of the end of U.S. You can see Fantasy General II: Invasion in action in the publisher Let's Play video below.Today is the 20-year anniversary of the U.S. If physical goodies are your thing, you'll also find a physical version of the Hero Edition that comes with a hardcover art book over on the Slitherine store. Purchasing the game's General Edition will get you everything included in the Hero Edition alongside two expansion packs titled Onslaught and Empire Aflame. The Fantasy General II: Invasion Hero Edition also includes the Tale of Falir prequel campaign, focusing on Falir's hunt for Tolk Headsplitter and his band of trolls, an art book, a digital soundtrack with music from both Fantasy General games, and a high-resolution printable world map. ![]() The standard edition is easily the most straightforward one, containing the base game. On its release date, players will find three versions of Fantasy General II: Invasion available for purchase. The land of Keldonia is filled with all sorts of other fantasy creatures, including harpies, undead and dragons, defeating them possibly yielding valuable items. Where the barbarian clans field the likes of axe throwers, spearmaidens, trolls, shamans and ancestral spirits, the Empire brings dragon cannons and golems among their ranks. Fantasy General II: Invasion features over 75 unit types and several heroes boasting powerful abilities.

![]() And its color options are particularly lovely (our pick is a lavender-gray). We do love the more traditional feel of the Ohom its ceramic material has a hand-hewn aesthetic. It’s a bit less expensive than the Ember, but it only warms beverages to a standard 130 degrees-what you gain in affordability you lose in temperature specificity. ![]() The Ohom Ui Self-Heating Mug is another favorite. And while it comes in a standard color run of white, black, and gray, we’re particularly partial to the new metallic editions (hello, rose g old). It’s lined with a stainless steel core, so it feels a bit heavier than most you may be used to (for example, the 10-ounce actually weighs 14.5 ounces), but the handle is sturdy and comfortable enough to carry its weight without drooping. Other than the subtle LED lights indicating readiness, you won’t be able to tell this is more than a mug. So as long as you’re not the mug shopper who dotes over artisan pottery at the farmers’ market, you’ll love the Ember’s sleek, minimalist style. And when it comes time to clean, no need to worry about damaging the electronics-the Ember is waterproof up to 1 meter and safe to hand-wash. On the coaster, it can stay warm all day (great news for us distractible drinkers). Off the coaster, the mug will continue to self-heat for about 90 minutes. A flashing white light will appear while the mug is heating up to your selected temperature, and finally a solid white light will show when it has been reached. A red light will flash while the device is charging, and a solid green light will show when it’s ready to go. To get started, allow your mug to charge for about an hour before use and then follow the manufacturer’s instructions (it will become second nature after a few times). The Ember comes with a coordinating charging coaster, too. No smartphone? No problem-the Ember Mug is preprogrammed to exist at the toasty ideal of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes, it involves downloading the Ember app and pairing your mug to your smartphone device-but that’s a quick process and offers up a perfectly heated drink (coffee, tea, whatever suits your fancy) in no time, and for as long as you like. While any old insulated tumbler may keep your drink “hot,” what makes the Ember so distinct-within the rather stacked mug warmer category-is that you can set your temperature specifications right down to the degree (seriously, we fact-checked with a kitchen thermometer). Back in the heyday of complicated Starbucks orders, I remember my mom specifically desiring her cappuccinos at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. ![]() You can keep this guide as a bookmark in your browser until you manage to finish the game.

If you're energetically sensitive, like Patel, she says you may notice a "beautiful, warm, gentle energy" emanating from it when you hold it in your hands. Photo: Getty Images/Serena Williamson What does it feel like to work with rose quartz? Read on for everything you need to know about rose quartz healing properties. But what are the best ways to work with rose quartz-and what can you expect when you get yours home? Here, Patel breaks down the many facets of this starter-kit crystal. It's now a common massage menu add-on, cocktail garnish, and bath-soak ingredient, not to mention that stores like Urban Outfitters are now selling the rocks in their natural state. "The high vibration of rose quartz can soothe emotional wounds and brings about a balanced energetic state of acceptance, healing, bliss, and love," she says.Īnother perk: Rose quartz is one of the easiest stones to track down. She notes that the stone's molecules are said to vibrate at an energetic frequency of 350Hz, and that when you make contact with this frequency, it's thought to "elevate and harmonize" your heart energy center. "Rose quartz, or the stone of emotional healing, is associated with all the properties of high-vibrational love energy," says Well+Good Council member Kelsey Patel, reiki healer and founder of lifestyle brand Magik Vibes. ![]() ![]() (And let's be real: Coupled up or solo, who couldn't use a little help in that department?)

![]() The Devil Ray fish stems from the Mobula family, which includes the Manta and Spotted Eagle Ray. Scientific Nameĭevil Ray The Stealth Bomber: Devil Rays are much sharper than their Manta counterparts. Today, the Reef Manta is classed as a vulnerable species due to entanglement, plastic pollution and illegal fishing operations. This species of ray is found in the tropical waters of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans near coral reefs around islands and atolls. The Reef Manta’s upper body has a small dorsal fin, which from the surface can easily be mistaken for a Dolphin or Shark. Their most common color is either black or dark grey, with a white underside. Much like the Oceanic Manta, Reef Manta’s also have horns used to feed on plankton. Often referred to as ‘Birds of the Sea’ because their two triangular pectoral fins resemble the wings of a bird. The Reef Manta Ray is the worlds second-largest species of ray, and has a maximum wingspan of approximately 15 feet. Reef Manta Ray Spot the difference: Reef Manta’s are significantly smaller than their Oceanic cousins. Shop our Manta Ray Necklace and help support ocean conservation efforts now. However, human factors such as unsustainable fishing and an ever increasing demand for their body parts has led the Oceanic Manta Ray to become the first manta ray to be listed as an endangered species. Oceanic Manta Rays have a lifespan of around 15-20 years and are mostly preyed upon by Sharks and Killer Whales. They inhabit warm tropical waters worldwide, and spend most of their time between the surface and approximately 400ft deep. The Mantas use these areas as both feeding and cleaning stations. ![]() Oceanic Mantas are often found congregating on reefs particularly susceptible current, which attract schooling fish and plankton. These are used to funnel plankton - a manta rays favourite snack! With so many different types of rays, it can be hard to tell them apart but one of the main distinguishable features of the Oceanic Manta Ray are the horns located either side of their huge mouths. From wing tip to wing tip, they can grow to at least 23ft and weigh up to an impressive 4,000 pounds!Īpart from their size, the Oceanic Manta Ray is distinguished by the markings on their backs, which include large black and white patches mostly above their shoulders. The Oceanic Manta Ray is the largest ray species in the world. Oceanic Manta Ray Photo by Shawn Heinrichs | The great Oceanic Manta is the oceans gentle giant. We take a look at 10 individual types of marine rays (Batoidea) with photos, features and facts, so you can get a better understanding of these amazing species. These similarities include: Flat disc-like bodies, a long whip-like tail, eyes that are normally located on the top of their heads, and mouths and gills on their bellies. Manta rays, eagle rays, stingrays and the many other different species of rays share common similarities. With over 600 species of rays in existence, it can be hard to spot the difference. ![]() Here are 10 different types of rays, and how to tell them apart. ![]() 10) OS X Updater for various items (10.6.3) minus the Java Update 2.

In practical terms, to assess vulnerability, various techniques have been used, such as the simulation of the degree of damage or failure of structures, the empirical evaluation carried out after the occurrence of the event, the elaboration of damage curves, and the estimation of the magnitude of floods, among others. ![]() Currently, the concept of vulnerability considers variables such as the effect of an event on spatial, temporal, and social factors, resistance, resilience, and susceptibility, the degree of exposure, protection, recovery, and reconstruction, and the degree of structural and non-structural damage relative to the intensity of the threat. Various methods have been proposed to assess vulnerability conceptualizing the relationship between the magnitude of the flood event and its effect on the exposed element. In this sense, the physical dimension of vulnerability encompasses the susceptibility of structures that can be negatively affected by a threatening event. The term vulnerability has been defined as the probability of an element being affected by the occurrence of a threatening event. Therefore, applying the power law could be useful in planning processes with limited information. The scaling behavior of the physical vulnerability of structures was identified when Hu is defined as a scale variable and, similarly, concerning flow velocity in the stream. Findings indicate that simplifying physical vulnerability estimations through CN, Hu, and v variations in catchments and at cross-section resolutions is possible, allowing a detailed analysis of the land-use change effect on the vulnerability of structures. Hydrological and hydraulic modeling and the implementation of four physical vulnerability assessment methods were performed using GIS analysis. This study aims to evaluate the effect of land-use evolution from 1976 to 2017 on the physical vulnerability of structures exposed to floods in the Combeima cathment, Colombia, proposing two novel approaches: (i) based on soil infiltration capacity variation ( CN) in the basin and changes in stream flow velocity ( v), (ii) through soil water storage variation in the root zone ( Hu). Thus, the combined effect of variations in soil properties and current hydraulics interacts with the exposure of structures exposed and their degree of physical vulnerability. Land-use changes produce variations in upper soil hydraulic properties and alter the hydrological response and hydraulic behavior of streams. |
